We manage about 300 rental homes across Columbus, Georgia and the Chattahoochee Valley for 10% of the rent we collect each month, plus a one-time leasing fee we set with you per property. If your home sits empty, we don't get paid that month either. Veteran-owned, working both sides of the river since 2007.
We treat your home as our own. We offer a wide range of property management services to fit your needs as a landlord or homeowner. We tailor our services to ensure that you have the highest level of service for your home.
Ten percent of the rent we collect. That is the management fee — flat, not a range, not a number that moves depending on how many doors you bring us. There is also a one-time leasing fee when we put a tenant in the house, and we set that with you per property. Empty month, no fee.
Here is what that ten percent is actually buying. We collect the rent and chase it when it is late. We handle the owner statements, the 1099 at year end, the maintenance calls, the inspections, the notices, and every conversation with your tenant that you would otherwise be having yourself on a Tuesday night.
What it does not cover: the leasing fee, and the actual cost of repairs. We do not mark up repair invoices. You pay what the vendor charges, and you see the invoice.
Your tenant puts the request through the portal and a real person picks it up. Water heaters do not break at 10am on a Wednesday. They break at 9pm on a Sunday, and somebody answers. Routine repairs we just handle. Anything bigger, you hear from us before a dollar gets spent.
Most owners tell us this is the part they were dreading. Not the money — the phone calls. The 2am flooring question, the tenant who wants to argue about a light fixture, the vendor who says he will be there Thursday and is not. That is the job. You bought a rental, not a second one.
Not on your own, if it is a single-family home or duplex in Georgia. Under Georgia House Bill 399, a landlord living outside the state must employ a Georgia-licensed real estate broker to manage the property. The exemption that used to let owners manage their own rental no longer applies to out-of-state owners.
That change lands hardest on the people it was never written about — soldiers who PCS out of Columbus and keep the house. Most of our owners did not plan on being landlords at all. Orders came through, the house would not move in time, and renting it out was the option that was not a loss.
HB 399 added O.C.G.A. § 44-7-25 and removed two exemptions from the state real estate license law. If the broker you hire is also out of state, that broker has to employ at least one person located in Georgia who is responsible for receiving and responding to tenant communications. The point of the law was response time — somebody in the state who picks up.
We are a Georgia-licensed brokerage with an office on Veterans Parkway, so hiring us covers it. Statements, maintenance approvals and inspection reports all live in the owner portal, so you can check the house from Fort Bragg or Germany at whatever hour works. And the phone number does not change. You call us, you get us — not a queue in another state that has never driven past your property.
This is general information, not legal advice — laws change.
Yes — both sides of the river. Phenix City, Ladonia, Fort Mitchell, Seale and Hurtsboro in Russell County, and out to Smiths Station and Salem in Lee County.
This matters more than people expect. Georgia and Alabama do not handle deposits, notice periods or evictions the same way, and the two states are twelve minutes apart here. An owner in Phenix City who has been reading Georgia landlord advice is reading the wrong rules. We do not run an Alabama property on Georgia law, and we do not hand you a Georgia lease for a house in Russell County.

We have been managing rentals here since 2007, about 300 homes at a time. The company is veteran-owned — Alex came out of the 75th Ranger Regiment — which in a Fort Benning town means we have sat on the side of the table you are sitting on now. Patricia Hitesan has run Columbus rentals for us since 2016, and she is the one most of our owners actually talk to.
We are also small enough that nothing gets lost. Roughly 300 doors is a real portfolio and still a number where somebody in this office knows your house without pulling it up first.
